Match Context

England drew 1-1 with Ghana in Boston. Despite creating several chances, the Three Lions were unable to secure all three points against a well-organised Ghana side.

The result on Tuesday night leaves England needing strong performances in their remaining group games to advance comfortably in the 2026 World Cup.
